booze
FUSE bindings for bash.
If you, like me, have ever had the desire to create a FUSE filesystem from a shell script, this may be just the thing for you.
booze compiles to a shared library (booze.so) that you can load into
bash via its enable -f feature. It adds a new builtin to bash,
booze, that mounts a FUSE filesystem and shuffles data back and
forth between libfuse and bash functions in your script.
Its help text gives a basic description of how to use it:
booze: booze [-df] FN_ASSOC MOUNTPOINT
Mount a booze filesystem at MOUNTPOINT using functions in FN_ASSOC.
Options:
-d: debug mode (implies -f)
-f: run in foreground
FN_ASSOC must be an associative array. Any keys it contains that match
one of the following FUSE operation names will cause that FUSE operation
to be implemented by the bash function named by the value corresponding
to the key:
getattr
access
readlink
readdir
mknod
mkdir
unlink
rmdir
symlink
rename
link
chmod
chown
truncate
utimens
open
read
write
statfs
release
fsync
fallocate
setxattr
getxattr
listxattr
removexattr
If for any reason this doesn't seem like a good idea, the user is
encouraged to drink until it does.
The files hello.sh (a simple "hello world"), passthrough.sh (sort
of like a bind mount), and cowsayfs.sh (filenames through cowsay!)
provide examples of functioning booze filesystems.
